The great British golf course architect Dr Alister MacKenzie left a legacy of inspired writings on the many subjects that were of interest to him throughout his career. Naturally golf course architecture was his primary topic, yet he also had strong views on many other subjects including camouflage which dated back to his time in South Africa as a civil surgeon in the Boer War. Later he was the founder of the Royal Engineer's Camouflage School in WWI.

As a doctor, medicine and health remained keen interests long after he swapped his stethoscope for the pen and paper of the golf course architect. Little was known of MacKenzie's views on politics and economics, yet his pro-capitalist and anti-socialist views become apparent when reading his well-reasoned Letters to the Editor, published here for the first time.

This complete anthology has been assembled and edited by leading Australian golf course architect Neil Crafter and brings together all of Dr MacKenzie's writings apart from his two books. It begins with his first published article on the topic of labour-saving machinery in October 1911 and ends with a final article on golf course design in February 1935, published over a year after his death.

Lavishly illustrated in full colour with many period photographs, drawings and plans, this book provides many fascinating insights into

Dr MacKenzie's philosophies on golf course architecture and other subjects that were of continuing interest to him. For the first time

a complete list of MacKenzie's writings has also been assembled.
